Shang Jinfeng said: "The Water Guidance Department should pay attention to launching the Haihongqi 9 missile; target, the battleship of the Sissoi, and the armored cruiser of the Russians."

At this time, all kinds of launch data had been set. Therefore, after hearing Shang Jinfeng's order, Zhang Chengbing, the squad leader of the missile squad, said in a deep voice: "Target, the battleship of the Sissoi, the Haihongqi 9 missile fired - launch; Target, the Russian armored cruiser, the Haihongqi 9 missile fired - launch."

I saw that behind the main gun on the front deck of the Kunming ship, the lid of a vertical launch system box was slowly opened. With a "huh", a thick and long missile bounced out of the launch box with the smoke, and it rose more than ten meters high. The huge reaction force also caused the huge hull of the Kunming ship to tremble. Then, with a "spray", an orange-red flame suddenly ejected from the tail of the missile, and brought out a large amount of thick smoke. The missile suddenly accelerated and flew into the sky.

The Kunming ship's vertical launch system uses a hot and cold frame launch, while the Haihongqi 9 adopts cold launch technology. The so-called cold launch refers to the generation of thrust inside the launch box, pushing the missile out of the launch box, and then the missile fires in the air to generate power to fly. The Soviet (Russian) missile adopts cold launch technology, while the hot launch is the launch box without power. The missile fires in the launch box and launches with its own thrust. It is used by American missiles. These two technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages, and cold launch is safer because the missile does not produce flames in the launch box, but the missile fires in the air, which is more difficult to control, while the hot launch is the opposite. China is compatible with two companies. The Haihongqi 9 adopts cold launch technology, while the Haihongqi 16 adopts thermal launch technology.

At this time, the vast majority of the soldiers and crew members had already slept in the warships and transport ships parked at the Dagukou Wharf. There was a lot of sound in the crew's warehouse. Only a few soldiers on duty were still walking back and forth on the deck.

Overall, although the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance is not careless, it is not very vigilant. After all, the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance has captured Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the Supreme Ruler of the Qing Dynasty, have also fled from the capital. The Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty fled to Shanghai and joined Southeast Mutual Protection, and has almost no ability to threaten the power of the coalition forces. Therefore, this war can be decided by the overall situation, and what remains is the matter at the negotiating table. Of course, it is not negotiating with the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty has no capital to negotiate with the coalition forces, and can only accept any requests made by the coalition forces. It is just that how many countries can divide it from it depends on the ability of the politicians.

In this case, it is reasonable for the coalition fleet to relax a little, not to mention that the fleet did not completely relax its vigilance, and left behind normal soldiers on duty to cope with some imaginable unexpected situations.

However, the unexpected situation that the coalition forces will encounter this time is not something they can imagine.

The first thing I found was Sergeant Sharimov, a night-time soldier on the battleship of the Sissoi. It turned out that Sharimov was guarding the night shift in the middle of the night. It was estimated that time was almost time, but the soldiers who changed shifts had not come yet. Sharimov was quite anxious and looked up at the night sky and wanted to know when it was about to come. But at this moment, in the ink-blue night sky, a star suddenly shone brightly, and the light became bigger and bigger, becoming more and more obvious, as if it was a meteor.

There are rumors about meteors in all countries around the world, and Sergeant Sharimov couldn't help but become interested. He forgot about changing shifts for a while and looked up into the sky. But after a while, Sharimov found that something was wrong, because the meteor was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed to fall in the direction of the Sissoi. However, as the distance got closer, Sharimov had already seen it clearly. This was definitely not a meteor, but what it was, Sharimov didn't come up, but instinctively felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Although Sharimov also wanted to report it, after taking two steps, he hesitated for a while. How to report this matter? He couldn't even figure out what he was. When Sharimov hesitated and looked up, he realized that it was a slender cylindrical object with a vertebrae shape on his head and an orange-red flame spewing from the tail, facing the Sissoi almost at a vertical angle.

Although Sharimov didn't understand what was going on, he had an inexplicable fear in his heart, and he didn't care much about it and shouted, "There are...there are...there are...there's the situation,..."

Before Sharimov could finish his shouting, the slender cylindrical object had fallen on the deck of the Sissoi, less than twenty meters away from Sharimov. With a "boom", the deck was broken and half of the cylinder was inserted into the deck.

Sharimov felt his feet tremble, and a huge and dazzling spark flashed in front of him. Then a huge impact force came, and he couldn't help but flew up, crossed the side of the ship, and fell head-on into the cold sea.

The deafening explosion suddenly spread throughout the dock, and the huge flames illuminated the nearly kilometer area around the Sisoi. The soldiers at night and crew on the nearby ships rushed to the side of the Sisoi to watch in the direction of the Sisoi. Two warships sounded the sirens, and the sleeping people were awakened one after another.

However, most warships did not issue alarms. The reason is very simple, because they only heard the explosion but did not hear the sound of cannons. Although the explosion occurred in the Sisoi, it may not be an enemy attack. It is likely that the crew of the Sisoi crew made a mistake in their work, causing the explosion in the shell compartment. This kind of thing can be common at sea and nothing strange. Therefore, we must naturally see it clearly before we can see it clearly.

At this moment, some sharp-eyed people had discovered that an object with long cylindrical shape, vertebrae with long flames spewing from the tail fell rapidly from the air. This time the target was the Russian armored cruiser about twenty meters beside the Sissoi.

This is naturally the second Haihongqi 9 missile launched on the Kunming ship, and the first one has hit the Sissoi.

Seeing the soldiers of the Haihongqi 9 missile, the crew naturally talked about it and pointed, not knowing what it was, but when the Haihongqi 9 hit the Russian armored cruiser, it caused a huge explosion, and the situation was almost the same as what happened on the battleship of the Sissoi just now.

After seeing all this, even if the person who was too late to think of it, it was indeed an enemy attack. The long cylindrical and fire-breathing thing I saw just now was obviously the weapon used by the enemy, and it was probably a new type of shell. So the sirens on each ship made a harsh and sharp sound throughout the dock, and the sirens were mixed with roars in various languages:

"The enemy attacks, the enemy attacks, and the enemy attacks."

"Get up quickly, get up quickly, there will be an enemy attack."

"Make fire, make fire, artillery preparation, artillery preparation."

The warships and transport ships were in chaos. The soldiers and crew got up one after another. Everyone didn't care about getting dressed, so they rushed to their posts. The officers gathered in the command room. The lookouts climbed up the watchtower and searched for enemy ships. The artillerymen pulled off the cannon jackets and got into the turret. They quickly adjusted the angle of the cannon and filled the ammunition and loaded the medicine. In the boiler room at the bottom of the ship, more than a dozen bare-spoken soldiers threw shovels of coal into the stove, and beside the boiler, there were still people who tried their best to blow the fire into the furnace.

However, although warships in this era generally use steam engines as power, the launch of warships is not like driving, just ignite. Because steam engines are powered by steam, water must be boiled to produce enough steam to drive the steam engine to operate and start the warship. Generally, it takes at least one time for large warships to start from fire to startup. During this period, warships are a living target floating on the sea.

Of course, warships cannot move, and naval guns can still be fired. Therefore, warships do not only get beaten but cannot fight back. However, whether they are watchmen or fire controllers, the sea surface they see is pitch black and nothing can be seen.

Modern missiles have automatic feedback devices so that the launchers can know whether the missile hits at the extreme. Therefore, the Kunming ship also received the result of the two Haihongqi 9 missiles launched at the first time.

A burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the entire command room, not only because it successfully hit the enemy ship, but also because this was the first time that the Kunming ship participated in actual combat, and the dull atmosphere before the battle was swept away.

However, amid the laughter and joyfulness, the three-person team of the headquarters was still calm and did not show any joy. Xia Bohai said: "Let the drone pass the picture over and see the effect after the Haihongqi 9 hits it."

After a while, two Russian ships hit by the Haihongqi 9 missile appeared on the display screen. At this time, the fire had been extinguished a lot, but it was still basically clear that there was no need to see the night viewing effect. I saw a large hole in the decks of the two Russian ships, but the gap on the Xisoi was located closer to the middle, and the gap on the Russian was to the left, and a large piece of the ship's side was blown off.

The three people from the headquarters carefully observed for a few minutes. Xiao Jianjun said: "It seems that the effect is good, but it may not work to sink these two warships. I'm afraid it's not enough. I have to shoot another shot."

Xia Bohai said, "This is normal. Haihongqi 9 is not an anti-ship missile, and these two ships are 10,000-ton warships. In terms of tonnage, they are much larger than the Kunming ships. Of course, they cannot be sunk with just one missile."

Xiao Jianjun said: "Then try changing to Eagle Strike 8 this time."
